First off, let me start off by saying I hate to be negative but I am completely over this truck. My 2014 Sport was beyond fantastic and this 2019 has been nothing more than a let down for what I thought was my next dream truck. This is where I am at at almost 2k miles.
1. I have the clunk and I am still awaiting parts and repair.
2. I have had a wobble/shake/bounce like feeling since I purchased this truck. First time to dealer they said they couldn’t replicate it. Second time they balanced tires. It still exists and I am not sure at this point if it is a tire issue or something else. But it definitely makes me feel a little uneasy about the safety of the vehicle.
3. The paint on the ramboxes is subpar. I thought I had fixed it by applying some polish but it is still easily noticeable in direct sun.
4. Weak A/C performance. It struggles to cool the cabin. After first dealer visit they said it was within tolerance at 57 degrees. Second time they said they charged it. Minor improvement but still ultimately underperforms. It also seems to have a mind of it’s own and even if you don’t have the defrost on it creates a fog on the windshield during evening or overnight hours.
5. My brake pedal makes clicking/squeak noises when applying. Not sure if it is something on the electronic side or if something is loose. Another possible safety issue.
6. Noticed yesterday that after driving in rain or going through a car wash the driver’s side carpet is soaked.
7. I have the same issue as described in other posts where after starting it sounds like it is about to stall. I am also unsure if this relates to the fact that I have poor gas mileage. Even with a majority of highway driving, I struggle to get at least 15 MPG even with etorque. That combined with the smaller tank, which makes no sense, makes me feel like I am always putting gas in it.
These are in no particular order and I could go on about the HK sound system and other minor issues but I won’t. I understand new vehicles can have issues but this is just too much for a vehicle with a price tag over 60k or any price for a new vehicle. I will give the service department a chance to fix everything as thats all I can do but I am completely discouraged by everything. It definitely seems like at this point that Ram was not ready for building this truck and with the abundance of issues still occurring on builds they aren’t overly concerned with it either.
Again, sorry for the negativity and I know there are probably more builds without issues than there are with, but this is not acceptable in my opinion. Built to serve who?
